Hit me with your best shot, fire away

The good news is that I finally got my car serviced -- complete with the Deluxe Ultimate Wash, a mere 2 months after the "oil change required" light started blinking. The bad news is that my usual 'turning-the-fuse-off-and-on' approach didn't restart our central heat that broke 3 nights ago. And it is so cold! And it's so hard to schedule a handyman when you're running from one appointment to the next. Poor ol' me.

Sometimes I'd just love to be one of those Martha Stewart domestic diva type women who have it all together, have it all under control, have notebooks and files with the handyman's phone number, alphabetically organized and all that, and who make it to the car shop b-e-f-o-r-e the oil-change-light even starts flashing. And all that while the pie is baking in the oven. And the laundry getting done, preferably with the number of resulting socks divisible by two.

Rest assured, Martha and her ilk find other things to stress about. Like I told my wife when I unexpectedly had to drop everything and drive back down to Waco to take care of our daughter after her back went out, 'Hey, I need an unexpected and adventurous life to have something to write about on my Napkin Dad Daily blog'! Without the unexpected, what fun is there!

Like the other bloggers mentioned, without the incidents occurring what sort of blog would it be...maybe it would be something like:
I got up today the heat was on , the car's oil change light did not come on, my blueberry pie came out great and I did not spilll any blueberries on my white shirt nor did I spill any coffee on my white shirt, which Lucky does all the time ( which I did do today ..thank you very much)

My socks are never divisible by 2. We have a resident sock monster. Do you have any tips for getting rid of sock monsters? LOL I'm so sorry your central heat broke! I hope you're able to get it fixed soon.

I thought that was the required time limit, two months. You're in good company. I think they tell us to do it when the "oil change due" comes up on the display, but really add two months knowing we would do it that way! Hey, I love Seattle's Best too! When I can, that's what I buy for home. That and what's the one from New Orleans? Having a senior moment!

:D Your post reminds me of a funny situation. My husband told me the yesterday that I should give my bike for servicing because he found that on high speed, the handles wobble. Can you imagine my response? I told him that I had a few errands to take care of and so, I would ride not-so-fast! :D I feel so lost without my bike! :D

It is so true! The little things we think of to be so large that we cannot take 5 minutes to ourselves just to make us feel better even (yes makeup is vanity-esque, but vanity is a part of self-esteem too, and anything that makes us feel better about ourselves is a plus) I believe a little around the eyes never hurt anyone! But I also think you probably still looked fab without it, sister!

excellent sport engines and are fast car kit definitely my thing, adrenaline and emotion behind the wheel is great, congratulations on the blog is excellent and the subject of the best, thanks for sharing.
